Squares of prime numbers are the only numbers with three factors, since there must be only one nontrivial divisor for a number to have three factors. That number must thus be prime.
there are only 2 factors because 3 is a prime number: the factors are 1 and 3
If a number has three factors, it's a perfect square. One of those three factors (apart from 1 and the number itself) would be the square root.
Any square of a prime number. For example, 5*5 = 25 has the factors 1, 5, 25. If you square any other prime number, call it "p", the factors of the result are 1, p, p square.
Prime numbers have two factors. Prime squares have three factors. Square numbers have an odd number of factors but that number varies.
A square number
The numbers with only three factors are squares of prime numbers.
Okay, whoever said that a number can only have an even number of factors IS Wrong Take a prime number and square it. If you square a prime number, the number you get will only have 3 factors. For example, if I squared the number 3, I would get 9. 9 only has three factors: 9, 3, 1 Any prime number squared has Three factors.
3 is a prime number; its only factors are 1 and itself.
A number has exactly three factors if and only if it is the square of a prime number.
Squares of prime numbers are the only numbers with three factors, since there must be only one nontrivial divisor for a number to have three factors. That number must thus be prime.
It is 103 which is a prime number because it has only two factors which are itself and one
It will be the number with only 2 factors
101 is the first three-digit prime number.
The only factors of 23, which is a prime number, are 1 and 23.
The only number that ONLY has two and five as factors is 10, which has two digits, so there are no numbers that are three digits long and ONLY have two and five for factors. However, if you are asking what the largest three digit number that has two and five for factors, it would be the largest three digit number with ten as a factor, as ten the the LCM of two and five, and that would be 390.
